  Jones Beach NJ LSS
He hurriedly removed the boats and apparatus to a place of safety, and with an old sail and his oars, having built a hut in a neighboring beach hill, by burrowing under its lee, he abandoned the house and quartered his crew in the improvised station.
The property had not all been returned into the house, and so suddenly did the sea gather proportions, that the crew, who were at dinner, had barely time to save such of the equipment as were there, and abandon the station, before it was lifted bodily from its foundation and borne half a mile away.
By 1925, the position was described as "on Jones Beach, two miles west from east end." The station was extensively repaired and improved in 1888.

 The Wallflowers @ Jones Beach (NY Rock)
The Wallflowers sounded so good last Thursday night, July 17, 1997, at the Jones Beach Theatre, and the ocean breeze was so cool amidst the mid-July heatwave, that I thought I had died and gone to suburban heaven.
The band sounded better than they do on record (which means pretty damn good), although the music did carry out to Zach’s Bay on occasion instead of heading in the rightful direction of the Jones Beach crowd.
In addition to an impressive take at the cash register, the CD has garnered a healthy dose of critical praise, including a few Grammy nominations for "6th Avenue Heartache," which was expertly served later in the Jones Beach set with the help of some rousing background vocals from Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows.
